Thanks for all samples and feedback. This weekend was a good test.

Can we have some pings, traces and MTRs for
198.12.65.34
and
108.174.57.17

We will make a decision after next weekend's tests.

We will be testing these IPs and servers next week for siege only.

For the time being, we have reverted back to our substantive servers.

I'm putting a lot of work into this. Built 4 servers this weekend for the sake of testing and will be building further more next week.

Get involved and have your say. Don't moan and cry afterwards that your ping increased by a measly 20ms.

We are moving data-centers. This is your chance to help decide which.

[UT-Sniper-SJA94]

That explains why the us servers felt horrible again lol, the difference is night and day lol

[SAM]

@UT-Sniper-SJA94

The difference between Ashburn, VA and NY for you is 30ms.

We would have stayed with the servers we had tested this weekend. However, the new server didn't cope too well with the siege server. Tickrate was fluctuating far too much. Therefore, we will be testing more next week, specifically for siege only.

[UT-Sniper-SJA94]

I was glad when I saw you previous post, I thought I messed something up with my UT, I was scratching my head because I didn't remember changing anything today. I will have to change my dodgeclick time to the setting it was on the old servers, I couldn't move properly the last few games I played

I hope you do keep the new us servers in the future, they are by far the best servers you've ever had.

I hope you do keep the new us servers in the future, they are by far the best servers you've ever had.

The moves have to be justified and worth the work. I'm not moving everything for the sake of it. This move is to work for everyone and hopefully have a positive outcome. We are moving either way. Just not sure whether we are staying on colocrossing's network or moving to internap. This weekend was internap. Next weekend will be colocrossing.

Try to rate both with an open mind regardless of what you experienced this weekend.

@Chamberly. Thanks for your samples.
